    Show off your speed

    we have nbn being rolled out in certain parts of Australia where we are supposed to see those sorts of speeds, but it is all politically motivated as to who gets faster internet first. Whoever is in power at the time is ensuring that their electorates get it first.

    Nexus 6 - too big?

    I use my phone about 95% for email, hangouts, web surfing, youtube with chrome cast, I very rarely use it for phone calls. I do like the note 4, screen is excellent, removable battery, micro sd card, led notification, excellent camera, the price you pay is touchwiz, and having to wait for...

    Nexus 6 - too big?

    I was looking forward to the a new nexus smartphone release. The Nexus 5 does not have very good reception, and the speaker is not very good. Motorola do a really good job with the Antenna from what I have read about the Moto X 2014 which I am sure carries forward to the Moto 6. Also nice to...

    Sony sells its Vaio divison

    With the exception of the PS4, Sony and the other japanese companies seem to be losing out to the Koreans, mainly Samsung. Tablets may be the growth sector and may be more profitable than laptops, but personally I much prefer using a laptop or desktop over a tablet. I use my smartphone all the...

    90s Game Console Which You Connected To TV

    can't remember the name of my first gaming consoles but it was in the 70's, when we only had a black and white tv, and the main game on it I used to play was pong. Was probably the console I spent the most time playing, that and the N64 many years later.

    android phones - 8 or 16 GB Storage

    If you want to have music on your phone, I would definitely go the 16gb, especially if it does not cost too much more. It is better than paying for the phone and then finding you don't have enough storage. For the 32gb nexus 5, it says 26.76Gb available, which must mean the android kit kat OS...

    Nexus 5

    The android 4.4.1 camera updates can't come soon enough. The first bad thing I noticed about the nexus 5 was how slow it was to focus compared to an iPhone. http://www.androidcentral.com/android-441-update-coming-nexus-5-camera-fixes

    Hangouts SMS

    I am not sure that you can do that in Australia. The process last time I looked was very complicated, you had to go through the courts or something ridiculous like that. And in any case, the call blocker doesnt really block anything, as the annoying caller, can just set their number to not...

    Hangouts SMS

    I might have stayed with hangouts for sms if i could find a way to block sms from certain people, but I dont know if that is a feature which is available, at least I couldnt find out how to do it. That is something apple got right. call and sms blocking with ios7 was excellent. I have had to...

    Smart Phone

    iPhones are fairly easy to use and figure out without the manual. I have never read a manual, although things are a bit less intuitive with ios7. Not sure what your experience level is with the iPhone, but here in Australia they offer free one hour workshops in the Apple store where they teach...

    Hangouts SMS

    That was one of the first things I did was to change the default sms app from google hangouts, it confused the hell out of me, and it kept flipping between screens, did not like it at all. They should keep them as separate apps in my opinion. Also if you are sending like a thousand messages a...

    PS4 or Xbox One?

    These poll results seem to reflect what the people I have spoken to have said. The few people that I spoke to said they would be getting a PS4, that includes people who currently have an xbox.

    Microsoft

    I just read an article on that today. Also saw this video, seriously, anybody who could have dismissed Jobs that way and the iPhone, how did he hold the top spot for so long. eywi0h_Y5_U Microsoft needs a product guy as its head. My first smartphone ran on Windows mobile. They made the...

    Nexus 5

    I got the spigen neo hybrid case in the mail. If anybody is looking at buying a spigen case and choosing between the slim armour range and the neo hybrid range. I would definitely chose the slim armour range, it is a fairly nice case, I don't think it would protect it much in a drop, not the way...

    Nexus 5

    I initially ordered the spigen neo hybrid one with the silver border. I figured it was never going to arrive and ordered the exact same one as you in black on ebay from the spigen store. That and the fact that it was not available when I ordered the first case and I like how it is all black. My...

    Nexus 5

    The audio on the nexus 5 phone is not very good in my opinion. oh and just don't drop it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wkb5Qe_-0k0 ouch, if only those spigen people would deliver my case. I ordered one on amazon around two weeks before the phone was released and it still has not arrived. I...

    Nexus 5

    Got my Nexus on Monday, I thought that was quite fast to come from Hong Kong to Australia over the weekend, given I had only ordered it on Friday, definitely the fastest overseas delivery I have received. I think the phone is awesome, yes there are a lot of phones that do a lot of things...
